Default Trouble finding the right JDM GSR throttle body gasket.

Im running a Skunk2 Pro Series intake manifold on my 98 JDM GSR with a 68mm BDL throttle body and I cant seem to find the right throttle body gasket for it. There is a long skinny coolant line on the throttle body and gasket which I cant find on any of the throttle body gaskets. Autozone and most websites I am unable to find. For fellow GSR owners, please help me find it for my 98 JDM GSR w/ IACV on my Skunk2 intake manifold and BDL 68mm throttle body.
Mainly looking for the coolant line on the throttle body gasket, any he.lp would be appriciated

Im confused! Are you looking for a throttle body gasket or a coolant hose???

You shouldnt have a problem finding a throttle body GASKET! your 68mm Throttle body should have came with one or you can contact Skunk2 and order a 68mm throttle body gasket from them!

A throttle body gasket does not have a coolant line lol its just a gasket so i assume you are speaking of the coolant line that attaches to the throtttle body. You can find those hoses at any autozone or parts store just tell them the size and length.

x2 this

no part store will carry a 68mm gasket for an aftermarket part go to bdl or skunk2 for that. If it's the coolant hose regular tubing meant for coolant from a part store will work just cut it to size.

The part you're looking for is discontinued. Probably try aftermarket, but it doesn't exist. There's no solution for your problem.

Local parts stores like Auto Zone, NAPA, Advance Auto Parts, etc. sell gasket material in sheets... you can purchase a "roll" of it for a few dollars.

Trace your BDL throttle body over the sheet, hold it still, and strike it solidly many times around the mouth of the T/B and the perimeter to imprint the gasket with the topography of the T/B. Once you have a good imprint, cut it out and use it.

Try FELPRO # 3157

Guys, look at a BDL throttle body...then think about it....

*Is coolant supposed to pass through a throttle body gasket?
*Are there any coolant lines present on a BDL throttle body?
*What good would a paper gasket be against a liquid?

For reference, I understand coolant passes through the oem throttle body. It passes through its own passageway and has nothing to do with the gasket at all. BDL throttle bodies have the coolant passages eliminated, much like the skunk2 billet throttle bodies.
